We don’t have a breeding population of feral pigs here, those are all farm animals. If we had feral hogs I’d hunt them all the time but alas...

So what you're saying is there's a huge population of food animals just ready and waiting to be shot and eaten by a hungry populace when the economy finally shits itself inside out?

Unfortunately adult hog meat usually tastes like piss.

Turn it to pet food, dogs and cats are not terribly discerning in the quality of meat.

If i lived anywhere near an invasive population of wild hogs I'd take it as an excuse to keep more pets and take hunting as a hobby.

I understand that people trap them and feed them for several months to fatten them up and remove some of the piss flavor which comes from their diet and lifestyle

It already has. Undetected prion disease explains most of what's going on in rural America.

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
New Zealand's feral hogs are delicious. I don't suppose they piss on themselves less, maybe America is a toxic hellhole though.

If we had feral hogs here in Israel they'd taste of gunpowder and regret.

surprisingly the reason most people don't live off wild hog, squirrel, and venison, and the reason that entire industries revolve around meat raising and production, isn't that people don't want to do it themselves, it's that it's designed to taste better and we're ingrained to want it.

Came here to post this.

After a certain size only a few cuts of meat are any good, and butchering the larger hogs is a pain in the rear end. They're good if you can get 'em young

I thought they only taste like piss when you cut them wrong. Maybe rupture the bladder, or was it the kidney? Forgot.

From a quick google you MAY be thinking of the fact that what it accumulates in is the fat, so if you're really really really zealous about cutting as much fat off as possible you can probably REDUCE the taste of piss. It's still there for any boar that's not extremely young or castrated though. Sows would be fine for piss-taste-purposes specifically but you gotta cook the hell out of them because of really really nasty parasites that are hella common.

Wild game is usually tastes bad because people cook the hell out of it due to parasites. I started to sous vide my venison last year to exactly the safe temp, and surprise it's pretty palatable when it doesn't have the consistancy of a boot.
